About HeartShaper
Bible-Centered Sunday School Curriculum for Toddlers Through Preteens
HeartShaper classroom-based curriculum is focused on helping kids love God and His Word—and live it out. HeartShaper is the only Sunday school curriculum that promotes biblical literacy by taking kids through the Bible five times by the time they reach sixth grade. With one focus per lesson and our unique Quick Steps™, teaching is easy—and learning is fun!
Help Kids Build a Relationship with God
If biblical literacy is important to you and your church, HeartShaper is the right choice. Kids experience God by studying His Word and applying it to their lives. From toddlers who pat the Bible to preteens who study it to find answers, kids are immersed in God’s Word in age-appropriate ways.
Help Kids Use Their Bibles
HeartShaper curriculum helps kids develop the ability to study God’s Word on their own by teaching Bible skills they’ll use the rest of their lives. Bible skills are integrated in every lesson, and each HeartShaper age level builds on the skills taught in the one before it.
